It's Monday! What are you reading? -- 9/7

This meme is hosted by J. Kaye over at J. Kaye's Book Blog.

This Monday I am reading The 19th Wife by David Ebershoff. I am about 130 pages in and enjoying it. I just finished Hot Six by Janet Evanovich for the Stephanie Plum challenge. Even though High Five was my favorite so far, Hot Six comes in at a close second.

Have a great Labor Day! What are you reading?

Friday Finds -- 9/4

My Friday Find is Suite Scarlett by Maureen Johnson. I won a copy of this book from Liz over at BookLover and am really looking forward to reading it. Here is the Barnes and Noble description:

Scarlett Martin has grown up in a most unusual way. Her family owns the Hopewell, a small hotel in the heart of New York City, and Scarlett lives there with her four siblings - Spencer, Lola, and Marlene.When each of the Martins turns fifteen, they are expected to take over the care of a suite in the once elegant, now shabby Art Deco hotel. For Scarlett's fifteenth birthday, she gets both a room called the Empire Suite, and a permanent guest called Mrs. Amberson. Scarlett doesn't quite know what to make of this C-list starlet, world traveler, and aspiring autobiographer who wants to take over her life. And when she meets Eric, an astonishingly gorgeous actor who has just moved to the city, her summer takes a second unexpected turn.

Barney's Online Book Club -- October Book Suggestions

It is time to suggest books for the next discussion of Barney's Online Book Club. So far, we have read The Late, Lamented Molly Marx by Sally Koslow (July) and Julie and Julia by Julie Powell (August). Thanks to everyone who participated in the discussion posts! I have decided to skip the month of September because I will be away on vacation at the end of the month and with the BBAW this month I thought we all could use a month off. So the book suggestions will be for a discussion post at the end of October. Please feel free to leave your suggestions in the comments section or you can email me at jedziedz@hotmail.com. I will take suggestions until Saturday, September 5th (midnight EST) and then email everyone about voting. Not a member yet? Then just leave your email address in the comments section and I will add you to the email list. Once on the list, you will receive updates to book club posts here at Barney's Book Blog.
